Maria Rigol Ordi Mil.Lenni Reserva Brut Nature 2018
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainMaria Rigol Ordi is a 5th generation family of Cava makers since 1897, based in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. Chardonnay joins the classic lineup of Xarel.lo, Macabeu, and Parellada in this vintage dated Cava, disgorged in May 2022 with 0 dosage after at least 36 months on lees. Alluring toast and darts of brown butter lead into a complexed palate of lemon pith, green apple, almond blossom, crushed stones, all lit with an intrinsic energy that shimmers this long on the finish. Very artisanal, and very special.Tasted: 19 May 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $49.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
